It ran, then it didn't. Something bound. ARB install got bumped up on the to do list.

Close, but the block is aluminum.

You get this figured out yet?
I liked the message I got from Sharpe. "Test Drive Status: Failure" followed by a message saying, "front diff is ffuuccckkkkeeeeeddddd"

no.
center diff was unlocked. it bound up and was pulling to the right. It moved when the front right drive flange was removed. So its pinion, spider gears, or bound front ujoints on the driveshaft. I'll see if its still bound tonight and then remove the front driveshaft and try again before pulling the diff out.
...
well its not the driveshaft or pinion. CV shaft doesn't want to spin. I'm hoping it just sheared off the ABS sensor and it isn't something more serious.
...
so the kit's suggested clearance on the spindle didn't work out. It resulted in a pile of expensive welded together ****. At least the guy who does the kit is working with me on this.
After some thinking and staring at the wall, round 2 will be machined to FlemCo specifications.
...
that sucks, I hope he takes care of you. Pictures?

there isnt much to see. looks like a cv stuck in a spindle. There is a small visible HAZ near the step on the spindle where the bearing surface starts. I crapped myself while trying to press it out. Its in there good and deformed the OD of the spindle. I had to use a 2 jaw puller to remove the wheel hub.
...
Sucks!!!!!!!
Interesting. Guess thats a good thing that it wasnt the diff! Check the other side for heat discoloration yet?
On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
no.t yet the rear seemed fine but its getting redone too. the kit used to do longfields and now uses rcvs, I'm thinking that change combined with a clearance size that may have been selected through the "hasn't failed yet" approach is to blame.
...
5 thousandths?! Come on Flem, who's machining this stuff
